The inaugural Climb to Conquer Cancer will follow four professional U.S.
mountaineers' quest to tackle a never-before-climbed mountain in Alaska

NEW YORK, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center today announced the launch of a unique expedition to an unclimbed
mountain in the name of cancer research. Never before has a cancer-research
center mounted such an expedition.

The inaugural Climb to Conquer Cancer, performed by a team of four
professional mountaineers, will take place next June in Alaska. The
specific location of the mountain, chosen by the Climb's Mountaineering
Advisory Committee, will be announced this winter.

The Center has carefully selected a team of four professional
mountaineers who will use all their knowledge and skills to achieve this
goal. The expedition team -- consisting of Matt Farmer, Dawn Glanc, Kevin
Mahoney and Bayard Russell Jr. -- is a group of talented and goal-oriented
mountaineers who reflect the bold, innovative nature of the researchers at
the Hutchinson Center.

"The scaling of an unclimbed mountain is a good metaphor for cancer
research -- the challenges are unknown until you are in the middle of it
and no one wants to turn back," said Lee Hartwell, Ph.D., president and
director of the Hutchinson Center. "Through the efforts of these four
mountaineers, we hope to build awareness for the critical need to support
cancer research."

"As stewards of our parks, the National Park Service makes it possible
for us to have this adventure because of the care that is taken to preserve
our wild places," said Jim Ireland, chief of Visitor Services at Kenai
Fjords National Park.

A group of renowned mountaineers, expedition leaders and adventurers
comprise The Climb's Mountaineering Advisory Committee: Phil and Susan
Ershler, the first couple to climb the world's "Seven Summits;" John
Harlin, a noted climber and editor of American Alpine Journal; Eric
Simonson, leader of the hist'/>"/>
